Walked to the line, settled, pulled the trigger. BAM! Done. One and done. The only way you can call that "luck" is when YOU do it. And You repeat it - then, you can tell me I suck... and can't pull it off again... I walked up there, and did what I had to do. With one shot. At a mile. Damn near dead-ass center of the plate, too. An 18" wide plate at a mile is less than one MOA. I'm just sayin'... And that was the middle of it... An 18.4272" plate would be one MOA... I'm just sayin'... Edited March 9, 2022 by 98Z5V

LOL We're going to look up the definitions of "control" and "fluke" when I get there. You clearly have no grasp of either concept.... If you can't repeat it, it's not controlled. Prove control over 5.3" of shot placement at a mile by any two successive shots, and the $100,000 is yours free and clear. I'll be on hand for 5 days to witness it first person, and I'm even rooting for you, I want it to happen. 5 days is plenty of time to get it done.... Spicy indeed!

And my ammo. I will shoot it first and hit the mile. After that, we'll see how many shots it take you to hit it... You in? Edited March 9, 2022 by 98Z5V
98Z5V Posted March 9, 2022 Report Posted March 9, 2022 I've already done this, multiple times. Brother, this is old-hat to me.

And I cold-bored that fucker. Cold gun, straight out of the case, first shot. Staggered up to the shooting platform. Hey, it worked. Who's to say it didn't? Nobody. Because nobody here has ever done that, on one of these shoots. Let's see what happens next weekend.... Edited March 9, 2022 by 98Z5V

Oh no, not by a long shot, as a matter of fact AND definition, you haven't done this by a mile. You placed 1 (and only 1) shot as intended. Demonstrating control over the shot placement requires a second shot (at minimum) to establish repeatability. So when it comes to proving your point you've actually literally missed it by a mile...

I'll be the very first to admit, I got nothing for a mile. Out of all the attempts I made on the Fall trip, I got one 'maybe' hit. Heck, I'm not even proficient at 1,000 yet, although the Tikka makes it easier.... You got all the mile skills in this duo, I won't even kid about that.

You got all the mile skills in this duo, I won't even kid about that. Oh no - with the smack talked already you get the Win Mag already - with the detachable 5-rd mag. You get ONE ROUND on the mag, brother. Put up or shut up. Hey, I'll even dial the 16.9 mils in the scope for you, and get you comfortable on the bench, beforehand. I'll do anything I can for you - so you can make that easy shot, just off-center on the plate. Now, when I give you the second mag, loaded 5-full - you better show me the difference between "control, fluke, repeatability" and all that other stuff you talked. I expect a first round hit, followed by 5 more -by your definition. We'll see how this goes... I'll bring my mile gun, that's for sure. So will @JBMatt. 1 minute ago, sketch said: Mill snipers salary per year? Not enough.
98Z5V Posted March 9, 2022 Report Posted March 9, 2022 Just for the record... last year, Postal Todd brought out a .300 Win Mag. He was shooting the mile with us. He had some 168gr ammo that he bought. It was nowhere close to being able to get there. Nowhere close. Too light, ran out of steam well before the target. He was frustrated. Now, Postal Todd has a Savage .338 LM bolt gun, and he's gonna make this shot, this spring. We'll see what happens.

On 3/9/2022 at 1:09 AM, Matt.Cross said: That's less than .3 MOA error, definitely smaller than what I'm capable of controlling as a shooter. So you see, the nature of MY claim was regarding what my shooting skills LACK. With that said, I'll gladly burn your ammo shooting for a 1-mile hit. Smiling with every round sent downrange....
